Treyarch confirmed that original Call of Duty titles are arriving on PlayStation 5 next month. The studio announced the porting of Black Ops and Black Ops 2 to the console platform. Iron Galaxy is handling the technical development for these releases. This move brings two legacy shooters to a modern console generation.
Treyarch and Iron Galaxy adapt legacy shooters for modern console hardware
The announcement came directly from Treyarch on June 17, 2026. The developer stated that the games are ports rather than remasters. This distinction means the original code is being adapted for PS5 hardware. The studio did not promise graphical overhauls or feature additions.
Both Black Ops and Black Ops 2 will launch in July 2026. The release targets PlayStation 5 consoles specifically. No other platforms were mentioned in the official statement. The games will likely support current generation controller features.
Speculation suggests Xbox Series versions may follow via Game Pass later. This possibility stems from recent library additions and studio restructuring plans. However, no concrete details exist for Xbox or PC releases yet. Players on those platforms must wait for further updates.
The PS5 launch marks the first confirmed availability for these titles on current hardware. Iron Galaxy will manage the porting process to ensure compatibility. Fans can expect the classic single-player campaigns on PS5 controllers. This release provides immediate access to the franchise's roots.
